The Father rewards your prayers.

“But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.” Matthew 6:7(KJV)

In our opening scripture, Jesus says to you that when you pray, do not use vain repetitions  Why? Jesus said in Matthew 6:8, “… for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.” This verse lets us know that when we pray, we pray to the Father. This is important because  you must know who you pray to. We do not pray to Jesus, no we pray to the Father in the Name of Jesus.     

In Matthew 6:5-6, the Bible says, “And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.”  This shows the Father sees us in secret when we pray and rewards us openly. 

It is important you know that prayer would only prosper when you have a relationship with God. Another thing we learn from Matthew 6:6 is knowing that my rewards are a result of my prayer. 

In other words  others may not know what you prayed about when you prayed to the Father on your own privately but when He answers you, He rewards you openly.  Nobody may have known what you prayed about in private, but the answer becomes obvious to everyone. So the next time you pray, know that you are deciding your reward. Therefore, pray knowing that God is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.

Prayer
